Filter tool cannot be configured

Hi friends,

I am fairly new to Alteryx and hope you can help me with the questions. I am trying to use the filter tool however there is no drop down available to configure it. Screenshot below. I've tried restart the program but it didnt work either. What's the solution to it?

Thanks,

Workflow

Hello @beckytan0306,

Have you tried to run the workflow?
This Error message usually comes up when you have not run a workflow yet

after that you have inserted the tool, because the metadata have not yet populated the Filter Tool.

See this response as well to the same question by MarqueeCrew:

If there still is a problem after you run the workflow, let me know.

//Best Regards
Elias

Thanks @Elias_Nordlinder for the response. Yes, the error message persists after running the workflow. I've attached my file here. The goal I want to achieve here is to filter row 2. Thanks!

You can try placing a select tool after your input data and selecting only a few required columns. It worked for me!
